It's quite a spectacular bike, that's the first time I've seen a Mondia in like-new condition.
The one item that ISN'T like-new is the seat-tube decal. That's a very rare 'transition' decal used by reynolds for a very short time in 1974. Up until now, I thought that only raleigh had used those square decals with 1/3 'guaranteed built, 1/3 '531', and 1/3 'gold band' down the left side. I guess those decals must have been available to outside builders, too, but only in 1974.
I have few spare reproduction decals left over from making a batch of 30x almost 2 years ago. If you buy the bike and want a replacement decal, please contact me off-list ($15 shipped, it's almost my last one ..)
